The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

January Challenge Map Received!

I gotta tell you guys that this map came out flawless. I cannot recomend GP and his print shop enough. I am sitting here looking at this thing and I am floored! Every detail from my file is on this print. I cannot see any blurring or smudging at all. The print came in a very durable tube and I did not even see a wrinkle on it from him rolling it up to put in there. Well done! For the price GP is asking, its a wonder he stays in business. (Might wanna let them know again GP.)
